Epic of Caterpillar-Chapter 2142 Anieriketulosba Versus Shub-Niggurath

?-----

"[Absolute Cosmic Enchantment: Body] + [Absolute Cosmic Enchantment: Ego] + [Impenetrable Primordial Chaos Armored Cocoon Body] = [Void-Slashing Twin Blades Wings Of Umbral Cosmos: Hecate & Hilda]"

Kireina transformed her two wings into egos, two blades out of her own body and armor, something that nobody ever thought possible. But if she could temporarily turn others into Egos like it happened with Luminous, then why couldn't she do it with her own body? The whole process was much easier now, with those two new Skills she acquired after evolution.

SLAAASH! SLAAASH!

Shub-Niggurath suffered tremendous damage, both slicing attacks were able to easily slash through the void encompassing her body like a hard armor. Explosions of cosmic, chaos, and void energies echoed, the entire wormhole shook once more.

BOOOMMM!!

"My [Outer Void Lord's Armor] got sliced so easily?!" The Outer Goddess thought, her entire body swiftly shifting through the void, teleporting away from Kireina's deadly range. "And how… How is she managing to damage despite being so below my Realm?! What is her true power?"

FLASH!

Before Shub-Niggurath could think about something else, Kireina appeared behind her, her wing blades slicing through her armor again. At the same time as her Domain wavered, unleashing a rain of Chaotic Demonic Star Falls, exploding over her body consecutively, reverberating as the explosions and shockwaves distorted space and time.

"You're getting on my nerves." The Outer Goddess quickly grew a titanic arm out of combining thousands of tentacles, punching Kireina with as much strength as she could.

BAAAMM!!

Kireina's armor barely gained a few cracks, as she was lunged away at lightning speed. Pieces of her flesh and armor splattering over the arm Shub-Niggurath created. The Outer Goddess realizing that touching her wasn't a wise decision.

"Parasites?"

She realized every piece that Kireina lost covered her monstrous tentacle-arm. It was now covered on aberrant millipede and caterpillar hybrid aberrations, made of Chaos, Demonic Energy, and Cosmic Energy, biting through her entire being and absorbing her essence, while disrupting her energy flow. And this was also one of Kireina's Fusion Skills, but much stronger.

"[Absolute Cosmic Enchantment]: [Forced Skill Evolution]" Kireina's voice whispered behind Shub-Niggurath, as the Outer Goddess realized these parasites rapidly multiplying across her entire body were an evolution of a skill Kireina forcefully triggered with her powers.

"Forceful Skill Evolution?!" The Outer Goddess thought, reacting in time, as she materialized a gigantic shield made of stopped time, the swords of Kireina unable to break through. "[Chronos Stasis Void Shield]"

CRAAASH…!!

"Your teleportation trick won't work on me anymore." Shub-Niggurath spoke with a serious and cold voice, the parasitized arm swiftly was set ablaze and cut off her own body as she regrew more flesh and tentacles like nothing. "I am too strong for you to ever taken on, Kireina. You must have evolved somehow… But that doesn't make you near as strong as I am!"

Her titanic body shifted through the Void, clashing against Kireina with her sheer size, trying to crush her through a simple body slam. All while her countless tentacles, with sharp jaws at their ends, attempted to break through Kireina's own defenses. Shub-Niggurath was relentless, and fought like a beast, but with cautiousness and with many of her powerful abilities that made her a feared Outer Goddess.

CRASH! CRASH! CRASH!

By coating her tentacles with her of [Chrono Stasis Void Aura], each of her blows not only could pierce through mostly any defenses, but it could even distort time and accelerate it or slow it down. Each time Kireina was hit by her, she felt time slowing down for her, while Shub-Niggurath's own time accelerated.

"She's stealing my own time."

Kireina quickly realized one of Shub-Niggurath's own abilities, the power to steal Time itself from a target. Her own existence created a vacuum on the flow of time. This made it so it would respond to her like space distorts around a black hole. The reason she could create that Domain that stopped time was because she could specifically target the ones she wanted their time to be drained, while keeping everyone else, such as her children, completely intact even as they stepped into the domain themselves.

"What's wrong? Have you finally begun to understand the difference between you and me, Kireina?" Shub-Niggurath kept fighting against her. Clashing with her powerful tentacles and stealing her time, making it so Kireina was unable to react in time. What she didn't knew was that Kireina was using this opportunity to grow even stronger. And become much more resistant to her wicked abilities.

[You have been restrained by the power of Time and survived several times.]

[The [Time Constraints Resistance: Lv1] Skill has Leveled Up!]

[You have survived several attacks imbued with the Element of Time.]

[The [Time Constraints Resistance: Lv2] Skill has Leveled Up!]

[You are slowly getting accustomed to control your own Time Flow.]

[The [Time Constraints Resistance: Lv3] Skill has Leveled Up!]

[By constantly shifting through dimensional walls, you're becoming more resistant to the restraints of Dimensions.]

[The [Dimensional Shifting Resistance: Lv1] Skill has Leveled Up!]

Shub-Niggurath noticed that Kireina was becoming faster over time, even as much as she tried to steal her Time Flow, it wasn't working as properly. She was stealing too little. It was as if… Kireina was becoming more and more resilient against one of her strongest elements.

"[Chrono Stasis Void-Piercing Spears]!"

Her tentacles were covered by a metallic silver-colored aura, attempting to pierce Kireina's body. Shub-Niggurath quickly activated her Trait at the same time, as she felt the flow of Time coming to her. She smiled with her many jaws, Kireina was going to slow down enough, and her tentacles would further accelerate, making her attacks guaranteed. Kireina wasn't even going to be fast enough to shift space or use her strange Metaphysical Manifestation Ability!

CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CRAAASH!

"HAH! I finally got you, Kireina- URGH?!"

However, what Shub-Niggurath didn't realized the second she attacked Kireina was that… all those attacks she heard of her tentacles piercing Kireina were in fact, piercing her own body!

"I-I attacked myself…?! W-What the…?!"

The Outer Goddess quickly noticed something incredibly bizarre.

No, dreadful!

She and Kireina had switched places.

"H-How did she…?!" As the Outer Goddess tried to think of something, she noticed another thing.

There was a lot of frozen blood spread everywhere…

And from within them, Kireina appeared.

Shifting within each droplet of blood.

"The combination between [Metaphysical Manifestation] and [Partial Dimensional Warping]. I'm finally understanding how it can be used properly." Kireina spoke with an emotionless and robotic voice.

"What kind of bullshit ability is that?! Nobody ever had conceived such power before…!" Shub-Niggurath roared. "I have to take you seriously, don't I? The other two are going to laugh at me once they learn it took me so long to take you on…"

FLAAASH!

Swiftly absorbing the Time of her own children to accelerate her own. At the same time, an armor of Void around her transformed, molding her body into something more humanoid, a monstrous yet seductive giantess made of black tentacles, covered on black void armor, and with long, silver hair made of Time Flow itself.

"Prepare yourself, chaos spawn." Shub-Niggurath smiled with her many jaws spread across her body, her crimson eyes squinting at Kireina. "You will face the real me now."

FLASH!

However, Kireina completely disappeared in that instant.

CRAAASH!

And then a completely black spear pierced Shub-Niggurath's stomach.

"YOUUU…!"
